We asked for it, and we got: in spades. In response to our call for a stirring motto for the proposed Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) embroidered mission patch, we were buried under suggestions from all corners of Regosphere diaspora.

Indeed, so great was the response that it's going to take us a while to compile a shortlist, not least because there's some seriously dodgy Latin going on which will need to be verified.

Since native speakers are a bit thin on the ground these days, we're moving to Plan B, which involves tracking down someone with a firm grasp of Latin grammar and, critically, noun declensions.

Here are a few examples of your submissions to date, which may or may not represent a hideous affront to the language of the Caesars:

Colei canis in vacuo

Da Da Per Forcipem

Ad astra et ad taverna

In vacuo nemo clamorem audit

Pilas Ad Parietem

Veni vici ballocketi

Et anatis cum tape XL WD

Pervenientes usque pro stilo cælos in

Omnes vacuums hereditatem datæ sunt nobis

De ebrietate, ingenium

Navis volitans mea plena anguillarum est

As you can see, we've got our work cut out for us. There are still a few hours until the final deadline, after which we'll knuckle down to knocking the best efforts into linguistic shape and presenting them for the final vote.
